EP News

We passed this news onto our backers on Kickstarter several weeks ago, and to keep the public in the loop: Eclipse Phase Second Edition is late, and will be released in 2018.

Response to the playtest has been spirited, and we're still working our way through rules issues and rewrites. An update to the playtest package was made available on November 16th, and more material is forthcoming. All of the book's art is in. We're tweaking and expanding the graphic design. And we're pushing forward with Kickstarter stretch goals and other Eclipse Phase projects.

Eclipse Phase Second Edition Delays

Our schedule for Eclipse Phase Second Edition was aggressive, and it got waylaid by several factors, some unexpected, and some just hit us harder than expected. Our long-term fans know that we've always operated on a slow-and-steady pace leading to high-quality books, and we will continue that in finishing Eclipse Phase Second Edition.

For awhile, we had some issues getting new titles properly listed on Amazon; we're pleased to say that we've hooked up with a new distributor to handle getting stuff to Amazon, and books are now arriving promptly. Amazon now has all of our in print hardcover titles in stock, along with a few other select softcovers. Essentially, if it's in print and it's not a print on demand title, Amazon has it now!

We're excited to finally show you the cover of X-Risks, by the talented and amazing Mark Molnar! If you thought a swarm of nanomachines was just ... pesky ... maybe you haven't yet seen them disassemble an entire moon?

White Hempen Sleeves — Ken Liu
How far will you go to experience the ultimate transhuman taboo? With enough wealth, longevity, and power, anything is possible, but the cost might be more than you can imagine.

It was the dawn of a new era, a technological and biological golden age for humanity. They had attained the stars, surmounted their weak physical shells, and found the cusp of a technological utopia. But those days slipped from their grasp, and now conflict runs rampant in the solar system. AIs and transhumanity struggle for survival, for balance, for a new golden age.

Their stories are many.

After the Fall is the first anthology from Posthuman Studios, set in the world of Eclipse Phase, their award-winning roleplaying game. The anthology will be a mix of old and new fiction, including stories by Eclipse Phase favorites—Nathaniel Dean, Jack Graham, Steve Mohan, and Rob Boyle and Davidson Cole. New fiction will feature science fiction rising stars Ken Liu, Madeline Ashby, Fran Wilde, Karin Lowachee, Wesley Schneider, and Andrew Penn Romine.

We're very happy to announce that the Street Date for Firewall is July 8th! Please contact your local game store and ask them to reserve a copy for you, and when you do so, please point them to our Firewall Sell Sheet, which has all the vital stats that retailers want when ordering and selling books!

If you don't have a local game store, you can pre-order Firewall directly from us, until July 1st. Firewall will be shipped to pre-order customers within a week of July 1st, so it should arrive domestically roughly around the July 8th street date, and internationally shortly after it.
